Weigela Midnight Wine Shine® 3 Gallon

Weigela florida

An ideal, colorful, dwarf shrub for the front of the border or for edging the perennial bed with excellent cold hardiness. This tidy mound of glossy, dark burgundy-purple leaves is topped by rose-pink, tubular flowers in spring that hummingbird love. Weigela are easy, perfect performers for sunny small spaces, in containers, as low hedges, mixed borders, or foundation plantings. They provide three seasons of color and possess good deer resistance planted along with Junipers, ornamental grasses, and deciduous Holly. Plant in well-drained to moist, amended soil. Water well after planting; maintain 1" of water once a week the first year. Prune to remove winter dieback in spring; do all other pruning immediately after flowering. Feed at least twice during the growing season with a slow release fertilizer in early spring and again mid-summer. Follow label instructions. Mulch 2" to suppress weeds, retain moisture and protect against extremes of soil temperature. A Proven Winners® variety.
